NEW HAVEN, Conn, July 2O.-A very
peculiar way of doing crooked work in
Showing the queer" recently came to
light. On May lSIDeputy Marshal Love
joy received letter from Cumberland,
Md, directed to Deputy United States
Marshal Meriden, Conn. This letter was
forwarded to Marshal Lovejoy from
Meriden, was signed william Mahoney,
Cumberland, Md" The writer charged
that Kelsey 81 Co. of Meriden, were send
ing out counterfeit half dollars, also
that they were shipping moulds in
which counterfeit half dollars could
be made. Marshal Lovejoy ascertained
that Kelsey q Co., were a reputable firm
engaged in making small printing presses.
Mr. Lovejoy then asked Mahoney to fur
nsh what proofs he had and then he
would work the case, but received no re-
| ply. On july II he received letter from
| David Sloane, United States commission
er of Cumberland, Md. informing him
that Mahoney had been arrested for pass
! ing counterfeit silver dollars and that
Mahoney had stated he was engaged work
| ing up a case against Kelsey & Co. of
Mefiden with Marshal Lovejoy. Chief
Drummond on informing himself of the
| facts telegraphed Commissioner Sloane
| that Mahoney was Il fraud and to hold
| HIM to trial.
| Information was received to-day stat
ing that Mahoney had introduced evidence
| to prove that he had sent for samples of
money to Kelsey & Co., and had received
counterfeit silver dollars. He produced
reliable witnesses to prove his assertion.
He was released after agreeing to appear
before commission again on July Is. He
die not appear and commissioner Sloane
now wishes to find him.

Prohibition as am Issue.

The letter of Senator-elect Reagan,
of Texas, announcing his purpose to
vote for the Prohibition constitutional
amendment in that State, is a note
worthy deliverance. Mr.. Reagan is
II of the ablest, experienced and most
truly representative men of the South
He has served for many years in the
House and has Just been elected for a
full term in the Senate. That he
should take the position he has just
done, in a State like Texas, is a signif-
icant sign of the times.
Mr.. Reagan paints the evils of intern
perance and depicts the magnitude and
the dangers. of the liquor traffic in col
ors borrowed from the apostles of tenn
perance. He defends the rights of the
State to prohibit the manufacture or
Improper SALE of intoXicants, hold
ing that
There is a broad difference between
laws which interfere with legitimate
trade and with such as would inter-
fere with the purchase and sale OF nee
essaTy food drink raiment, called sumpt-
uary laws, and laws which have for
their object the prevention and punish
ment of crime and the preservation of
public morals and decency.
The amendment having been submit
ted at IA special election for the purpose
of separating the issue from politics,
Nh. Reagan holds to his right as a citi-
zens to act upon his convictions. He
deprecates the attempt made by Demo-
cratic politicians to seek to identify
that great and grand historic party
with the fortunes and fate of whisky
shops, drunkards and criminals" In
defense of his position, he reminds the
anti Prohibition Democrats that "the
State Democratic Convention, which
met at Galveston last summer, insert
ed in its platform of principles "A de-
~claratiou, in substance, that "A citizen
might be a Local Optionist OF a PrOhi-
bitionist and at the same time be a
Democrat
In announcing his purpose to vote
Tor the amendment, he says it is mot
because he believe prohibition the most
efficient remedy which would be adopt
ed for these evils, but because in my
Judgment it fayors a policy which
will do much for the improvement of
the condition of our people pecuniari-
N, socially and morally, and towards
placing them on a higher and better
plan of civilization
Whatever may be thought Of Sena-
tor Reagan's views, it cannot be de
MED that he expresses them with force
and true independence, and that they
indicate a remarkable advance in the
temperance sentiment at the south
N. Y. World.

The prohibition law in Maine has at
last been made to a fine point so as to
convict all offenders. Liquor can bt
sold in quantities by the payment OF a
retail internal revenue tax but the
State law has been made so strong that
the payment of the government reyen.
ne is evidence of ayiolatien of the State
law. As the books of the interva'
